It appears quarterback Jacoby Brissett earned a good grade in his crash course on the Ravens offense.
Brissett joined the team a little over a week ago in a trade with the Cardinals and is on track to start against the Chargers on Monday night. In comments to reporters on Saturday, head coach Jesse Minter didn’t make it sound like Brissett will be limited to a small portion of the team’s playbook when he takes the field.
“The stuff you heard about was just like, ‘Hey, he’s a veteran presence and a real pro,’” Minter said, via the team’s website. “Obviously, he’s been around different systems and things like that. I would just say, I’m very, very impressed with how fast he’s learned what we’re doing.”
The Ravens head into Monday’s game in last place in the AFC North, so they’ll need Brissett to operate at a high level right out of the gate to stay in the thick of the playoff race heading into the back half of the season.
